Ma mua o kou kauoha ʻana i kahi pahu hoʻāʻo wai a i ʻole e nānā pono i kahi manual huahana, aia kahi mea hana diagnostic manuahi a koke a puni ʻoe: kou home ponoʻī. ʻO nā ʻōpala, ke unahi, nā pilikia hana i loko o kou lumi kuke a me ka lumi ʻauʻau he hoʻolaha pololei a kānana ʻole ʻia o ke ʻano o kou wai. ʻO ke aʻo ʻana e heluhelu i kēia mau hōʻailona hiki ke haʻi pololei iā ʻoe i ke ʻano o ka mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe wai āu e pono ai, ma mua loa o kou hoʻomaka ʻana e kūʻai.

ʻO nā Moʻolelo o ka Lumi Kuke

He ʻōnaehana ponoʻī kou poho holoi a me kou paipa no ka ʻike wai.

• ʻO ke ʻAno ʻŌmaʻomaʻo-Polū (Ke Kāhea Keleawe): ʻO kēlā mau ʻano turquoise hōʻike a puni kāu ʻauwai a i ʻole ka mea hoʻoheheʻe faucet ʻaʻole ia he mea ʻino wale nō; he hopena kemika lākou. Hōʻailona lākou i ka wai ʻino, me ka pH haʻahaʻa paha (acidic). Ke ʻai mālie nei kēia wai i kāu mau paipu keleawe, e hoʻokuʻu ana i ke keleawe i loko o kou wai. ʻAʻole e hoʻoponopono kahi mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe e kānana wale ana i kēia; pono ʻoe i kahi ʻōnaehana e komo pū ana me kahi kānana neutralizing a i ʻole ka media calcite e hoʻokiʻekiʻe i ka pH a pale i kāu plumbing (a me kou olakino).
• ʻO ka Rusty Red-Brown Stain (The Iron Telegram): ʻO nā ʻili ʻulaʻula-ʻeleʻele i loko o nā poho holoi, nā lua, a ma nā lole keʻokeʻo he hōʻailona maʻamau ia o ka hao keu. ʻAʻole kēia he pilikia aesthetic wale nō. Hāʻawi ia i ka wai i kahi ʻono metala, nā mea paʻa i nā ʻili, a hiki ke hoʻoulu i ka ulu ʻana o nā bacteria hao. Pono ʻoe i kahi kānana i hoʻolālā kūikawā ʻia no ka wehe ʻana i ka hao, e like me kahi kānana oxidizing kūikawā a i ʻole kahi ʻōnaehana hoʻokomo ea, kahi mea ʻaʻole hiki i kahi kānana kalapona maʻamau a i ʻole RO wale nō ke lawelawe pono.
• ʻO ka ʻIli Pōhaku Keʻokeʻo (The Hard Water Herald): ʻO kēlā hōʻiliʻili paʻakikī a unahi ma nā faucets, nā poʻo ʻauʻau, a i loko o kāu ipu hao he limescale—ke kāleka kāhea o ka wai paʻakikī, piha i ka calcium a me ka magnesium. Hoʻopaʻa ia i nā mīkini, hoʻemi i ke kaomi wai, a hoʻomaloʻo i ka ʻili a me ka lauoho. ʻOiai e wehe kahi ʻōnaehana RO i ka paʻakikī no ka inu ʻana, e hoʻopilikia mau ka unahi i kāu mau paipu a me nā ʻauʻau. Kuhikuhi pololei kēia hōʻailona i ka pono no kahi mea palupalu wai hale holoʻokoʻa, a i ʻole ma ka liʻiliʻi loa, kahi ʻōnaehana pale unahi e pale i kāu mau mīkini.

ʻO ka Autopsy o ka Mea Hana

Ke mālama nei kāu mau mīkini i kahi moʻolelo kikoʻī o ka maikaʻi o kou wai.

• Ka Moʻolelo o ka Mea Holoi Kīʻaha: Ke puka mai nei kāu mau aniani me nā kiko a i ʻole nā ​​ao ʻinoʻino me ke kōkua holoi? ʻO ka hewa pinepine kēia o ka wai paʻakikī. ʻAʻole holoi piha ʻia nā minelala i loko o ka wai, e waiho ana i kahi ʻili palalulu. He hōʻailona maopopo ia e hakakā ana kāu mea holoi i kou wai ma kahi o kāu mau kīʻaha.
• ʻO ka ʻae ʻana a ka Mea Hana Kofe: ʻO ka hōʻiliʻili wikiwiki ʻana o ka unahi i loko o kāu mea hana kofe a i ʻole ka ipu hao he ana pololei ia o ka paʻakikī o ka wai. ʻOi aku ka mea nui, inā ʻono koke kāu kofe me ka ʻole o ka loli o nā pīni, ʻo ke kaulike mineral o kāu wai (a i ʻole ka nele nui o ia mea mai ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe nui ʻana) ʻo ia paha ke kumu.
• Ka Hōʻike a ka Mīkini Holoi: Inā e hina mau ana kou mau keʻokeʻo a paʻakikī kou mau lole, ke hoʻopaʻa nei ka wai paʻakikī me ka mea holoi e hana i kahi curd e paʻa ana i loko o nā lole. ʻAʻole ʻoe e maʻemaʻe ana, ke uhi ʻia nei ʻoe.

Ka Papa Hana Sensory: Nā Maka, Ihu, Waha

ʻO kou kino ka mea hana ʻoluʻolu loa āu e paʻa ai.

• Ka Hoʻāʻo Aniani Ao: E hoʻopiha i ke aniani a waiho iā ia. Inā piʻi aʻe nā pehu liʻiliʻi a hoʻomaʻemaʻe ka wai mai lalo a luna, he ea ʻino wale nō ia. Inā noho ao like ia, hiki ke hōʻike i nā sediments i hoʻokuʻu ʻia—he hana no kahi kānana sediment maʻalahi.
• ʻO ka Hoʻāʻo Honi (ma ka piula wai, ʻaʻole ma ke aniani): Kuhikuhi kahi ʻala chlorine ikaika i ka mālama ʻana o ke kūlanakauhale a koi aku i kahi kānana kalapona maikaʻi. Hōʻike kahi ʻala hua pala i ka hydrogen sulfide, kahi e pono ai ka media oxidizing kikoʻī. Hiki i kahi ʻala lepo a musty ke hōʻike i nā mea olaola i loko o ka wai kumu.
• ʻO ka ʻōlelo hoʻoholo a ka ʻono: ʻO ka ʻono metala e hōʻike ana i nā paipu kahiko (hao/keleawe) a i ʻole ka pH haʻahaʻa. Hiki i ka ʻono paʻakai ke hōʻike i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka sodium (mea maʻamau i ka wai palupalu) a i ʻole nā ​​​​​​ion chloride.

Ke Unuhi ʻana i nā Hōʻailona i nā Hoʻonā: Kāu Pepa Hoʻopunipuni Diagnostic

Ke kamaʻilio mua nei kou home iā ʻoe e pili ana i kou wai. ʻO nā liki, nā ʻōpala, nā kīʻaha kope hoʻohoka—ʻaʻole lākou he mau mea hoʻonāukiuki wale nō. He ʻōlelo diagnostic pololei lākou. E hoʻolohe i ka mea a kāu mau mīkini a me nā mea paʻa e ʻōlelo nei ma mua o kou kūʻai ʻana i hoʻokahi kānana. ʻO ka hopena mālama wai kūpono loa ʻaʻole ia ka mea me nā hiʻohiʻona nui loa; ʻo ia ka mea e kamaʻilio pololei ana i nā pilikia a kou hale e walaʻau nei. E hoʻomaka i ka noiʻi ma kāu poho holoi ponoʻī. Ke kali nei nā hōʻike.
